# std::strstreambuf::~strstreambuf

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | io‎ | strstreambuf

virtual ~strstreambuf(); |  | (deprecated in C++98) (removed in C++26)

Destroys a `std::strstreambuf` object. if the object is managing a dynamically-allocated buffer (the buffer state is "allocated") and if the object is not frozen, then deallocates the buffer using the deallocation function provided at construction or delete[] if none was provided.

### Parameters

(none)

### Notes

This destructor is typically called by the destructor of std::strstream.

If str() was called on a dynamic `strstream` and `freeze(false)` was not called after that, this destructor leaks memory.

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <strstream>

    void* my_alloc(size_t n)
    {
        std::cout << "my_alloc(" << n << ") called\n";
        return new char[n];
    }

    void my_free(void* p)
    {
        std::cout << "my_free() called\n";
        delete[] (char*)p;
    }

    int main()
    {
        {
            std::strstreambuf buf(my_alloc, my_free);
            std::ostream s(&buf);
            s << 1.23 << std::ends;
            std::cout << buf.str() << '\n';
            buf.freeze(false);
        } // destructor called here, buffer deallocated

        {
            std::strstreambuf buf(my_alloc, my_free);
            std::ostream s(&buf);
            s << 1.23 << std::ends;
            std::cout << buf.str() << '\n';
    //      buf.freeze(false);
        } // destructor called here, memory leak!
    }

Output:

    my_alloc(4096) called
    1.23
    my_free() called
    my_alloc(4096) called
    1.23
